Product Information
Full details
The POC Cytal helmet is designed for adult cyclists seeking advanced protection and comfort. Its key benefit is the integration of Mips Air Node technology for enhanced rotational impact mitigation. A potential consideration is that its specific fit system may require a brief adjustment period for some users.

FAQs
What is the purpose of the Mips Air Node technology?
The Mips Air Node is a safety system designed to reduce rotational forces transmitted to the brain during angled impacts, enhancing protection while being integrated for better ventilation.
How do I determine if the Medium size will fit me?
The Medium size is designed for head circumferences between 54-59 cm. It is recommended to measure your head circumference and compare it to this range.
Can I wear this helmet for activities other than cycling?
The POC Cytal helmet is specifically designed and tested for cycling, including road cycling and triathlon. It is not recommended for other activities.
How often should I replace my helmet?
It is recommended to replace your helmet every 3-5 years, or immediately after any impact, even if no visible damage is apparent, as internal structures may be compromised.
Is the helmet suitable for very hot weather?
The helmet features good ventilation, including a design integrated with Mips Air Node technology. However, performance in extreme heat can vary based on individual physiology and ride intensity.
What material is the outer shell made of?
The outer shell is constructed from polycarbonate (PC).
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the 360 Fit System dial at the back of the helmet. Turn it clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen. Ensure the internal harness is positioned correctly on your head.
Straps are uncomfortable or not positioned correctly.
Readjust the adjustable strap dividers located near your ears. Ensure they create a 'Y' shape that sits just below your earlobes. Adjust the main chin strap for a snug but comfortable fit.
Ventilation feels insufficient.
Ensure the helmet is worn correctly and sits level on your head. Check that the ventilation ports are not obstructed by hair or accessories. The Mips Air Node is designed for airflow, but a tight fit can sometimes restrict it.
Sunglass storage (Eye Garage) is not secure.
Ensure your sunglasses are compatible with the eye garage design. Insert the arms of the sunglasses firmly into the designated slots. If they feel loose, try a different angle or a different pair of glasses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The POC Cytal helmet features an adjustable 360 Fit System. To set up, place the helmet on your head and use the dial at the rear to tighten or loosen the internal harness until it feels snug and secure. Adjust the strap dividers under your ears to ensure they lie flat and comfortably against your skin. The chin strap should be fastened with enough room for one or two fingers between the strap and your chin.
Compatibility: This helmet is designed for adult unisex use and fits head circumferences from 54-59 cm (Size M). It is compatible with standard cycling glasses. Ensure the helmet sits level on your head and does not obstruct your vision.
Care: Clean the helmet using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the helmet materials. Allow the helmet to air dry completely before storing. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks or dents, and replace it if any damage is found or if it has been involved in an impact.
